Although I am new compared to most builders and Opensim creators I am retired old lady in real life was a Commercial Artist then Graphic Designer it was at Neverworld last year really that one of my newly made freinds taught me how to build a region and area to landscape use different features I was able to with help from him to create the Mammoth Cave at Niagra Lake a special place and I know the Admin seemed happy with what I did. This started me on a discovery to try this on my own well its still ongoing and now I have taken on the biggest double region and this is it. I already near completion on Funny Rides what I did on NeverWorld stays there. But now I am on my own my friends there most gone now so I decided to go it alone and continue learning from those who love what I do to create fantasy lands places for folks to roam shop visit and have fun because at the end of the day that is why we do this be happy and be kind to each other.. This project will take a couple of months to finish but its a labour of love and an old friend from OsGrid has been a lot help Tem Twin thank you for the advice and suggestions.

I am posting this text to clarify what i am doing...
it is not to earn money here, even that I have a currency on my grid.
My intention is to open minds.

I have transferred the rest on my website:

NEVERWORLD * WHERE DANCING IS OPTIONAL*

BUNGEE JUMP NOW OPEN AT OPENSIM NETWORK!

Ready to take the plunge?

Our new Bungee Jump experience is now live at OpenSim Network, with a much more realistic motion system that gives you the feeling of a true elastic jump instead of a simple straight up-and-down ride.

Feel the fast drop, the hard recoil, the side-to-side swing, the body tilt, and the repeated bounces as the cord stretches and settles over the water.

This is part of our continuing work to make OpenSim Network more interactive, physical, and fun — with experiences built around movement, vehicles, games, and advanced scripted attractions.

Come try it, bring your friends, and see if you have the nerve to jump.

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

NEVERWORLD * WHERE DANCING IS OPTIONAL*

Tumbletwig was never intended to be a world you simply looked at.

Visitors can wear a frog avatar and use a swim HUD to experience the pond from an entirely different perspective. Suddenly the water isn't a decorative feature—it becomes part of the world you move through. Lily pads become places to rest, the leaf boat feels enormous, and the fairy frogs you encounter seem less like decorations and more like fellow inhabitants.

For a little while, you aren't visiting the frogs. You are one of them.

Public Notice: Outworldz, LLC. purchased and owns the rights to distribute LostWorld and Galaxy Wars regions. I purchased them from Joe Builder. I plan on releasing some of these as free OARs in the future. If you want any, you need to ask me.

In other news, my latest work in DreamGrid is Not Yet Ready To Release. but getting close. We are on the 6th or 7th beta this cycle. Contact me if you wish to be an Alpha tester.

Claude MCP server, Web API, Save IARs and OARs from web page all work, lots of new things and updates to the GUI. There are hundreds more unit tests now.

A) DreamGrid Service: Runs both as a foreground App and/or service. Survives power fail and reboot. Melania's Console now auto populates in service mode. You can install and then connect from her console on MACs and Windows, and there is a web console as well that is fully finctional. I plan on making this look more like Diva in the near future..

B) Built in GLB/GLTF/DAE viewer and loader. Works well on static mesh,and clothing. DG just converted a Mixamo avatar and a Tripo Ai Avatar to Opensim format. and dropped it 2 meters in front of me, in two clicks. One to select,. one to Proceed. Right-Click, Wear. Should be able to converty all 100 Mixamo Avatars in two clicks. You can use both characters and animations royalty free for personal, commercial, and non-profit projects from Mixamo.

C) MariaDb upgrade path is just a few clicks. Saved me 8 GB and is much faster. I weill be forking DreamGrid to only Maridb in the near future. You can remain on Mysql or convert, your option. New users will get MariaDb,.

D) Wordpress and WP4OS is working, just needs more testing. Joomla/JOpensim is now at V4. The upgrade path and Doumentation for Joomla is still under review.

E) I started releasing thousands of 3D objects into the Global Search engine. It will take several days to populate them all. Lots of duplicates. so I do not know exactly how many will show up. At the moment there are 14,996 unique, free objects that are one click away.

F) I hope to get Paypal working. I gave up on DTL. The Paypal and Opensim Region methods are long gone - about 15 year old code. This will be open source at Github.com/Dreamgrid If I succeed.

|I{•------» AZRAELLA — FOREVER IN THE MUSIC «------•}I|

Some people leave the world…
but their music refuses to leave us.
Today, we remember Azraella — a beautiful soul, a friend, and a DJ who gave us countless hours of music, laughter, memories and moments that will stay with us long after the music stopped.
Tonight isn't simply about remembering that she is gone.
It's about remembering that she was here.
Every beat.
Every melody.
Every familiar sound.
A little piece of Azraella still lives inside the music she left behind.
DJ Chocolate presents a special Azraella Forever Tribute — bringing her final sets back to the decks and allowing her music to speak for her once again.


The Druids 1 & 2

followed by
Tiggy Roy — After I Leave The Lights On

Not a goodbye.
A celebration of a life, a friendship, and a DJ whose music touched people.
So come into Subterranea.

Turn the music up.
Remember the good times.
Raise a glass, raise your hands, and dance for her.
Because sometimes the people we love don't really leave us…
They simply become part of the soundtrack of our lives.


AZRAELLA — FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.

FOREVER IN OUR MUSIC.

FOREVER REMEMBERED.

OpenSim Network Grid – Nexa Physics Development

This video shows our ongoing Nexa Physics development inside OpenSim Network Grid, focused on making trucks and trailers behave more like real vehicles instead of simply moving as one rigid object.

We are developing a functional fifth-wheel / trailer hitch system where the trailer remains connected to the truck through a dedicated hitch point while still being able to pivot independently. The goal is to reproduce realistic trailer behavior during normal driving, tight turns, reversing, and jackknife situations.

The system includes the fifth-wheel connection point, a soft-lock hitch prim that keeps the trailer attached while allowing movement, independent truck and trailer rotation, controlled following distance, and speed tuning so the trailer can stay synchronized with the truck through different gears.

We are also refining how the trailer reacts when backing up. Instead of simply following directly behind the truck, it needs to pivot naturally around the fifth-wheel connection and progressively angle into a realistic jackknife position.

This is part of a larger project to push OpenSim beyond traditional social-world movement and develop more advanced vehicle physics, interactive systems, scripted gameplay, and realistic physical behavior.

OpenSim Network Grid is the platform.
Nexa Physics is our developing physics technology.

see video ====> https://youtu.be/yLKyNhcim28?si=uvDuPSgtnzBxqtXu
Development is ongoing, and each test brings the system closer to realistic truck and trailer handling inside OpenSim.

Dear Friends,

I have planned this day for weeks. I have made a description without personal details.
I am preparing a set out of my music collection that is a bit of a wild mix and ride through different styles of music.
Feel free to jump in anytime. I know there are lots of other parties going on.
If I could I would love to visit them also...

https://opensimworld.com/events/141032

https://cozycomfortsgrids.wordpress.com/2026/09/24/mabon-c...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mabon Celebration
The animals on my picture:
🐘 The Elephant — Memory, Wisdom, Abundance

The elephant represents memory, life experience, strength, and community . In your image, it feels like a large, calm protective presence in the background.

That fits Mabon particularly well:

We look back at what has grown and acknowledge what has carried us.

The little sign hanging from the elephant is also interesting:

FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

This almost turns the elephant into a guardian of your three central values .

🐆 The Black Panther — Strength, Independence, the Unseen

The panther brings a completely different energy: instinct, self-determination, inner strength, and the ability to move through darker phases .

It is lying there calmly. It does not need to prove anything.

That fits beautifully with the transition from the light half of the year into the darker season:

Not everything has to be fought. Some things are allowed to return to the darkness.

🐺 The Wolf — Community and the Individual Path

The wolf is particularly interesting because it represents both community and individuality .

It belongs to the pack — while remaining an individual creature.

That connects directly with your word:

COMMUNITY

Mabon is also a celebration of sharing, community, and gratitude for what has been created together .

🧸 The Teddy Bear — The Inner Child

The teddy bear is, of course, not a Celtic symbol historically. But within your personal image , it serves a different purpose.

It represents:

comfort
security
vulnerability
playful creativity
the desire to protect something precious

And that creates a beautiful contrast with the large, wild animals.

The woman is holding the bear for a reason : between the panther, wolf, and elephant there is something remarkably gentle.

👩 The Woman in the Center

Actually, she is the connecting element.

She sits between:

Panther – Bear – Wolf – Elephant

and therefore between instinct, vulnerability, community, and wisdom .

That makes the image much more interesting than simply a “fantasy autumn scene.”

🍂 And the Fruits in the Foreground?

The pumpkins, apples, grapes, nuts, and grain are actually the clearest Mabon references for me:

Harvest → Abundance → Gratitude → Sharing → Transition

And that is why your subtitle

LAST FAMILY MEETING

works so well: it transforms the scene from merely an autumn celebration into a kind of last gathering together before the changing of the season .

The symbolism of the whole image

If we read the entire image as a symbolic language, it could be summed up like this:

🐘 Remember
🐆 Be strong
🐺 Belong
🧸 Stay tender
🍂 Give thanks
🔄 Turn the wheel

That, in my view, is the stronger interpretation than trying to assign supposedly “original Celtic” meanings to every animal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The turning wheel of animals:

🐘 Der Elefant – Erinnerung, Weisheit, Fülle

Der Elefant steht für Erinnerung, Lebenserfahrung, Stärke und Gemeinschaft . In deinem Bild wirkt er wie eine große, ruhige Schutzfigur im Hintergrund.

Das passt besonders gut zu Mabon:
Wir schauen zurück auf das, was gewachsen ist, und erkennen an, was uns getragen hat.

Interessant ist auch das kleine Schild an ihm:

> FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

Damit wird der Elefant fast zu einem Hüter deiner drei zentralen Werte .

🐆 Der schwarze Panther – Kraft, Unabhängigkeit, das Unsichtbare

Der Panther bringt eine völlig andere Energie hinein: Instinkt, Selbstbestimmung, innere Stärke und die Fähigkeit, durch dunklere Phasen zu gehen .

Er liegt sehr ruhig da. Er muss nichts beweisen.

Das passt hervorragend zum Übergang vom hellen zum dunkleren Teil des Jahres:
Nicht alles muss bekämpft werden. Manche Dinge dürfen einfach in die Dunkelheit zurückkehren.

🐺 Der Wolf – Gemeinschaft und eigener Weg

Der Wolf ist besonders interessant, weil er gleichzeitig für Gemeinschaft und Individualität steht.

Er gehört zum Rudel – und bleibt trotzdem ein eigenständiges Wesen.

Das passt zu deinem Text:

COMMUNITY

Mabon ist schließlich auch ein Fest des Teilens, der Gemeinschaft und der Dankbarkeit für das, was gemeinsam entstanden ist .

🧸 Der Teddybär – das innere Kind

Der Teddybär ist historisch natürlich kein keltisches Symbol. Aber in deinem persönlichen Bild erfüllt er eine andere Funktion.

Er steht für:

Trost
Geborgenheit
Verletzlichkeit
spielerische Kreativität
das Bedürfnis, etwas Wertvolles zu bewahren

Und genau dadurch entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zu den großen, wilden Tieren.

Die Frau hält den Bären nicht zufällig in den Armen: Zwischen Panther, Wolf und Elefant befindet sich etwas ausgesprochen Sanftes.

👩 Die Frau in der Mitte

Eigentlich ist sie das verbindende Element.

Sie sitzt zwischen:

Panther – Bär – Wolf – Elefant

und damit zwischen Instinkt, Verletzlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Weisheit .

Das macht das Bild viel interessanter als eine bloße „Herbst-Fantasy-Szene“.

🍂 Und die Früchte vorne?

Die Kürbisse, Äpfel, Trauben, Nüsse und das Getreide sind für mich sogar der eindeutigste Mabon-Hinweis:

Ernte → Fülle → Dankbarkeit → Teilen → Übergang

Und genau deshalb funktioniert dein Untertitel

> LAST FAMILY MEETING

so gut: Es macht aus der Szene nicht nur eine Herbstfeier, sondern tatsächlich eine Art letzte gemeinsame Zusammenkunft vor dem Wechsel der Jahreszeit .

Wenn man das ganze Bild als Symbolsprache liest, könnte man es so zusammenfassen:

> 🐘 Remember
> 🐆 Be strong
> 🐺 Belong
> 🧸 Stay tender
> 🍂 Give thanks
> 🔄 Turn the wheel

Das ist meiner Meinung nach die stärkere Interpretation als zu versuchen, jedem Tier eine angeblich „original keltische“ Bedeutung anzudichten.
